Meetings are weird things, and often they’re a breeding ground for embarrassing workplace behavior. Because of the sheer amount of boredom in the room, there’s always someone chewing on a pen, doodling, spilling coffee down the front of their shirt, or forgetting to turn their cell phone off. Well, Us Weekly has decided to share one of the most embarrassing meeting stories ever – for some reason, they deem a story about Jessica Simpson farting in a meeting to be worthy of attention on their website. I almost didn’t post about it, but I decided that it’s worth pointing out that Us Weekly is really grasping for straws. I love celebrity gossip as much as the next girl, but come on. It’s not like she pulled a Paula Abdul and answered her cell phone during a meeting. Sometimes people fart. It’s involuntary and they can’t help it. I mean, for fuck’s sake, leave the woman alone. If she says or does something, we can judge her behavior, but what’s next – an article about how she sneezed while someone was trying to ask for an autograph?

Jessica Simpson doesn’t have much going on these days–her last movie was only in a handful of theaters, and her next one is going straight to DVD. So she’s decided to help rehab her image by joining USO and performing for US troops stationed in Kuwait. MSNBC’s “Scoop” gossip column reported this week that Jessica wasn’t slumming it while in the Middle East, claiming that a ”private plane carrying Simpson and her entourage – which includes dad Joe, hairstylist Ken Paves and her personal assistant and stylist… cost approximately $150,000.”
Jessica, however, refutes the allegations. Her publicist told People that “She flew commercially, she is staying in the barracks. She’s been with the troops all day. She’s had her meals with them.” However, the publicist then admitted that Jess did indeed have a hair person and stylist with her, but not an assistant.
Who is Jess’ assistant these days, anyway? Maybe she made a smart choice for once and got someone a little less desperate for the spotlight than CaCee Cobb.
